If it is just a battery you could do that yourself, just remove the cover and unplug the Sealed Lead Acid battery (SLA) measure it and get a replacement from a local battery supplier or Jaycar has them as well, also as well as size confirm voltage but in most cases it is 12 volt
Are there any local suppliers who know about UPS batteries and who could make sure I get the right one? I'll connect the UPS to power again today and run a battery self-test. The UPS shut down twice yesterday, the first time due to a power failure (the battery may have been dead or nearly so), and the second time possibly due to low line voltage that caused another transfer to battery. I was out at the time. So I'll run a test and will then almost certainly need a battery supplier. It's an APC SmartUPS 1500 (purchased originally via Dell, as I recall), a pure sine-wave unit - the battery dates from 2007.
